Hold your ears because here it comes
The reason and logic you want to ignore
You’ve deteriorated and now there’s just a shadow left
None of us can recognize anymore
Close your eyes because now they’re falling
The tears you pretend I’ll never shed
Your family exists in another dimension
You choose this life instead
Swallow hard on all the promises you made
The lies and deceit that got you through each new sun
Forget the hope that glimmered from our eyes
With each false hope of new days to come
Turn the light out, so you won’t have to face
That cracked and stained reflection
Hide in the dark from who you once were
Destroy the images from your recollection
Turn the pictures away, our eyes judge you
Knowing everything you could be
A husband, a father, a man
You’ve been reduced to nothing
Please excuse my interruption
I’m not here to lecture; I’m not here to help
I wanted to say goodbye, and tell you how sorry I am
That this where you’ll be when you die all by yourself
